Colossians 2:12
_ _ Translate, “Having been buried with Him in your baptism.” The past participle is here coincident in time with the preceding verb, “ye were (Greek) circumcised.” Baptism is regarded as the burial of the old carnal life, to which the act of immersion symbolically corresponds; and in warm climates where immersion is safe, it is the mode most accordant with the significance of the ordinance; but the spirit of the ordinance is kept by affusion, where immersion would be inconvenient or dangerous; to insist on literal immersion in all cases would be mere legal ceremonialism (Romans 6:3, Romans 6:4).
_ _ are risen — rather as Greek, “were raised with Him.”
_ _ through the faith, etc. — by means of your faith in the operation of God; so “faith of,” for “faith in” (Ephesians 3:12; Philippians 3:9). Faith in God’s mighty operation in raising again Jesus, is saving faith (Romans 4:24; Romans 10:9); and it is wrought in the soul by His same “mighty working” whereby He “raised Jesus from the dead” (Ephesians 1:19, Ephesians 1:20). Bengel seems to me (not as Alford understands him) to express the latter sense, namely, “Through the faith which is a work of the operation of God who,” etc. Ephesians 1:19, Ephesians 1:20 accords with this; the same mighty power of God is exercised in raising one spiritually dead to the life of faith, as was “wrought in Christ when God raised Him literally from the dead.” However, “faith of” usually is “faith in” (Romans 3:22); but there is no grammatical impropriety in understanding it “the faith which is the effect of the operation of God” (Ephesians 2:8; 1 Thessalonians 2:13). As His literal resurrection is the ground of the power put forth in our spiritual resurrection now, so it is a pledge of our literal resurrection hereafter (Romans 8:11). |
Colossians 2:12
Which he wrought in you, when ye were as it were buried with him in baptism — The ancient manner of baptizing by immersion is as manifestly alluded to here, as the other manner of baptizing by sprinkling or pouring of water is, Hebrews 10:22. But no stress is laid on the age of the baptized, or the manner of performing it, in one or the other; but only on our being risen with Christ, through the powerful operation of God in the soul; which we cannot but know assuredly, if it really is so: and if we do not experience this, our baptism has not answered the end of its institution. By which ye are also risen with him — From the death of sin to the life of holiness. It does not appear, that in all this St. Paul speaks of justification at all, but of sanctification altogether. |
Colossians 2:12
(10) (q) Buried with (r) him in baptism, (11) wherein also ye are risen with [him] through the faith of the operation of (s) God, who hath raised him from the dead.
(10) The taking away of an objection: we do not need an external sign to the extent which our fathers had, seeing that our baptism is a most effectual pledge and witness, of that inward restoring and renewing.
(q) See (Romans 6:4).
(r) So then all the force of the matter comes not from the very deed done, that is to say, it is not the dipping of us into the water by a minister that makes us to be buried with Christ, as the papists say, that even by the very act's sake we become very Christians, but it comes from the power of Christ, for the apostle adds the resurrection of Christ, and faith.
(11) One purpose of baptism is to symbolise the death and burial of the old man, and that by the mighty power of God alone, whose power we lay hold on by faith, in the death and resurrection of Christ.
(s) Through faith which comes from God. |
